About this House

Charming 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom Capitol Hill rowhouse located on the District's friendliest block (confirmed by the Washington Post!).

The home features thoughtful updates while maintaining classic rowhouse charm. The full bathroom was fully renovated in 2022, and the half bath was updated in 2023. Comfort is ensured year-round with central heating and air conditioning, plus Mitsubishi mini-split systems in each bedroom installed in 2023, allowing for efficient and customizable climate control.

Outdoor space is a highlight of this property. Enjoy a newly rebuilt back deck (2024) overlooking a private backyard, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The home also includes the rare convenience of private off-street parking and multiple storage sheds.

This welcoming street is known for its strong sense of community, with neighbors hosting monthly happy hours and festive holiday celebrations throughout the year. The location is unbeatable: Eastern Market, Trader Joe's, the Metro (Blue, Silver, and Orange lines), and the restaurants and shops of Barracks Row are all about a 10-minute walk away, while beautiful Lincoln Park is just two blocks from your front door.

A rare opportunity to enjoy updated living, outdoor space, parking, and a vibrant community atmosphere in the heart of Capitol Hill.
